|
The energy captured in photosynthesis is used to power cellular respiration.
|
|
|
The energy transformed in cellular respiration is used to power photosynthesis.
|
|
|
Photosynthesis and respiration perform the same task in terms of energy transformation
|
|
|
Energy is not involved in either photosynthesis or cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy that can be used for food. Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Both are processes within the cell which make chemical energy available for life. Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, and cellular respiration releases the energy from glucose to build ATP, which does the work of life.
Detailed explanation-4: –The energy captured in photosynthesis is used to power cellular respiration. Energy from the sun is used captured during photosynthesis and stored in the bonds of glucose molecules. During cellular respiration, this energy transferred to ATP molecules to be used to do work in the cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy.
